Patented Feb. 7, 1933 PATENT OFFICE CHARLES A. ULRICH, OF HARTFORD,CONNECTICUT TABLE FOR SAWS OR THE LIKE Application filed February 1,1932. Serial No. 590,154.

My invention relates to tables for saws or the like.

It has among its objects to provide an improved table of the typeadapted to be used on power saws or other like tools or machines. Afurther object is to provide an improved table especially adapted to useon bench saws and having improved means whereby, while continuing to usea small sized table and part of the guide mechanism provided thereon,the eli'ective range of the saw may be substantially extended. A stillfurther object of my invention is to provide improved and inexpensiveextension means adapted to be readily applied to the table of a powersaw or the like to enable the size of the table to be increased whendesired. Still another object of my invention is to provide suchimproved extension means especially adapted to use in connection with abench saw and adapted to be applied to a standard saw table and to usewith the same and certain of the existing parts of the guiding mechanismwith only a minimum change in the existing device, and all in suchmanner as to enable the possible range of the saw to be increased whendesired beyond the normal capacity of the table and guiding mechanismthereon. These and other objects and advantages of my improvedconstruction will, however, hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying' drawing I have shown for purposes of illustrationtwo embodiments which my invention may assume in practice.

In the drawing,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a power driven circular bench sawequipped with one form of my improvement, the guide being shown indifferent positionsin full and dotted lines;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the clamping mechanism for the ripgage;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the support for said gage;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the supplementary support for saidgage. and

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, but showing a modified constructionof support.

In the illustrative construction shown in Fig. 1, it will be noted thatI have shown a saw mechanism of a well known bench type including arotatable saw blade 1 adapted to be driven by any suitable means (notshown) from any suitable source of power and rotatable in a usual plate2 in a table 3, the latter herein carrying a usual miter gage 4 and alsohaving a usual rip gage or guide 5, this guide herein being providedwith improved means, hereinafter described, whereby the same may besupported beyond the side edge 3 of the table 3 in such manner as toenable the saw to be used on work which would otherwise be wholly beyondthe capacity of the device.

Referring more particularly to the guide 5, it will be noted that oneend of the same is suitably connected, as by bolts 6, to an underlyinglaterally disposed plate 7 which is of an improved construction adaptingit to support the member 5 beyond the side edge 3 of the table 3 whilecooperating with other improved co-operating supporting means for theopposite end of the guide. hereinafter described. Herein. this member 7is adapted to be adjusted at will along the end edge 3" of the table,and is accordingly provided with a usual inwardly and upwardlyprojecting L-shape lip or extension 8 adapted to receive a correspondingbut re- "ersely disposed extension or guide 9 formed by suitablygrooving. as at 10. the under side of the table 3. Herein, it will alsobe noted that the member 5 is carried on an upwardly extendingprojection 11 on the outer upper surface of the member 7, which alsoreceives the inner ends of the bolts 6 connecting the member 5 theretoand so supports the latter member that its under surface is flush withand movable over or beyond the upper surface of the table 3. Spaced fromthis projection 11 by a substantial distance, herein the distance whichit is desired to extend the table 3, is another upwardly projectingmember 12 on the member 7, which herein has a threaded bolt 13adjustable therein by means of a sliding handle 14 in such manner as toclamp or release the bolt 13 from the depending portion 9 on theadjacent edge of the table 3. Thus it will be evident that, whileadapted to all normal uses when the guide 5 is resting on the table 3,whenever it is desired to move the guide 5 beyond the edge of the table3 to adapt the device to use on larger Work, it is only necessary torelease the bolt 13 by operation of its handle 14, and slide the members7 and 5 from any of their innermost positions, as, for example, thedotted line position shown in Figure 1, to the full line position shownin that figure, whereupon, the member 5 being laterally located asdesired. the member 7 can he fixed in its new position by merely againtightening the screw 13.

(lo-operating with this improved extension means carrying one end of theguide 5 is also improved supplementary means for supporting the oppositeend of the guide 5 in any of its positions beyond the edge of the table.In the construction illustrated in Figure 1 and shown in detail inFigure 4, it will be noted that this means is also in a form which, likethe constructon at the opposite end of the guide, requires no change inthe table 3. More particularly. it will be noted that whereas the table3 is normally provided with an inwardly sloping edge 3' and an inwardlysloping depending flange 15 forming a continuation thereof. these meansare adapted to utilize this flange and to be very quickly andconveniently attached thereto or removed therefrom. Herein. they includea clamping member 16 having a portion 17 adapted to engage the usualstraight inside surface of the flange 15. and also having a generallyU-shaped body, preferably provided with a suitable strengthening rib 18,and also having an upstanding portion 17 extending up along the outerside of the flange to the top of the table 3. Herein, the upstanding arm17' is also provided with a threaded aperture 19 which in turn receivesa threaded set screw 20 adapted to engage the sloping side of the flange15 and thereby fix the member 16 thereto. It will also be noted that agage support, herein in the form of a member or rod 21. is also carriedby the member 16 and projects laterally therefrom beyond the edge 3' ofthe table in such manner as to underlie the free end of the gage 5 inthe different positions of the latter beyond the edge of the table. Asshown. the member 21 also carries a suitable adjustable stop 22 adaptedto engage the outer side of the gage 5 and form an abutment for thelatter preventing outward springing of the same by the work, while alsobeing adapted to be suitably connected to the member 21 in any desiredposition by suitable means, as, for example, a wing nut 23.

While, if desired, the member 21 may be carried directly on the member16. as. for example, by suitably forming the same on or connecting thesame to the arm 17 thereof, I preferably provide improved supporting andpositioning means for the member 21 in order that the gage supportingsurface of the same may be maintained in the plane of the upper orworking surface of the table 3. Herein these means include a verticalplate or member 2 adjustable relative to the member 16 and hereinpivoted on any suitable horizontal pivot, such as 25, to the lattermember and capable of being adjusted relative to the same in such manneras to bring the member 21 into the desired position. hiore particularly,it will be noted that herein an extension 26 is provided on the lowerend of the member 16 and that the pivot 25 is connected thereto, as, forexample. by providing suitable parallel lugs 27 on the extension 26,which lugs have the plate 24 between the same and form a journal for apivot pin which provides the pivot :25. Attention is also directed tothe fact that above and below the pivot 25, set screws 28 and 29 areprovided which extend through the plate 24 and engage the outer surfacesof the pertions 26 and 17 of the member 16. Thus, through suitableadjustment of these screws 28 and 29, it is possible to change the angleof the member 24 and the rod 21 as desired, while holding both of thesame securely in the different positions of adjustment thereof. Here itwill also be noted that a hole 30 is preferablyprovided in the member:24 above the set screws 29 and opposite the set screw 20, so that thelatter is readily accessible through the plate 24. It .will also beobserved that while the member 21 may be suitably attached in anydesired manner to the plate 24, the same is herein provided with athreaded end 31 threaded into a corresponding aperture in the upper endof the plate 24 and that the location of this threaded aperture ispreferably such as to bring the upper surface of the member 21 and theupper end of the member 24 into the same plane. It will also be observedthat herein the member 21 is provided with suitable flat portions 32 onitsoppositc extremity adapted to receive a wrench.

As a result of my improved construction it will be evident that it ispossible to increase the range of the device and the size of the workcapable of being operated upon thereby. More particularly, the guide 5is adapted to function effectively both while over the table and in anyof a wide range of extended positions laterally beyond the side of thetable, and is also adjustable as desired both on the table in a usualmanner and into the various positions of the same beyond the edge of thetable. that in the latter positions. the free end of the gage 5 also iseflectively held by the member 22 against such outward springing of thatend of the gage 5 as would otherwise It will further be noted occur whenwork is being pushed against the saw and result in inaccuracy of thework. It is also possible to apply my improvement very conveniently, itonly being necessary to substitute my new member 7 and apply the readilyconnectable supplementary support for the other end of the guide.Attention is also directed to the fact that when it is desired to usethe gage 5 on small work, i. e. with the gage over the table, thelateral movement of the latter from an extended position into thedesired position over the table automatically eliminates inconvenienceresulting from a continuously projecting extension on that corner of thetable. Further it will be noted that the support 21 is so located at aremote point that during such use of the support 7 on the table, thissupport 21 does not in any way interfere with normal use of the table.Also, the suport 21 being removable, it is of course evident that whenlong continued operation on small work is contemplated, this support 21may then be entirely removed very quickly and conveniently, and onlyreplaced when it is again desired to operate on larger work. Theimproved attachment is also very inexpensive, my invention making itpossible to continue to utilize the table 3, the screw 13, the operatingmember 14 therefor, the guide 5, and the screws 6 therefor of anexisting saw table and gage mechanism of a standard, non-extensibletype, and only requiring the substitution of a new plate 7 for the platepreviously used and the provision of a new attachment including themembers 16, 24, 21, and 22.

My invention, while not limited thereto, is of particular practicalimportance when applied to so-called bench saws of the power type. Insuch devices, a small table is ordinarily desirable. Further, toincrease the width of the table, for example, by six inches,

would substantially increase the cost of the device since the table isan expensive part of the structure. From the manufacturing angle also,it is desirable to standardize on a device of a given size. As a result,although usually such bench saws have sufficient power to handle largerwork effectively, they are ordinarily furnished only in sizes adapted tosmall work. Further, the user who attempts to use them on larger work isunable to use the guide at all on certain classes of work, and when, byreversing the work, he attempts to utilize the guide on larger work, theresults obtained are unsatisfactory. ()n the other hand, as a result ofmy improvement, and while retaining the table of a standard small size.the manufacturer is enabled to provideat small expense a device which isadapted not only to operate upon larger work, but also to operate uponit effectively, in fact more effectively than upon work of what may becalled normal sizes, since springing of the outer end of the guide,which would otherwise interfere with accuracy, is prevented by themember 22. These and other advantages of my improved construction will,however, be clearly apparent to those skilled in theart.

In Figure 5 I have shown a modified construction of the supplementarysupport shown in Figs. 1 and 4. In this construction, the member 16 andits connected parts are omitted and the rod 21 is screwed directly intothe inclined edge 3 of the table 3. Ohviously, this construction willfunction similarly to that previously described, although the same isnot ordinarily preferred, since the same requires the drilling andtapping of a hole in the table edge to receive the rod and the locationof the latter in a fixed position or the provision of a plurality ofholes, while the construction shown in Fig. 4 requires no change in thetable and enables the member 21 to be positioned at any desired pointalong the edge 3'.

lVhilc I have in this application specifically described two embodimentswhich my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood thatthe same are shown for purposes of illustration, and that the inventionmay be modified and embodied in various other forms without departingfrom its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
